...Simulation Review HCS/405 September 2, 2013 Elijah Heart Center (EHC) is a healthcare organization that focuses on patients with heart problems. This 140 bed cardiac care hospital located in New York function as an advanced coronary care center, 120,000 square feet cardiac catheterization labs, surgical suits for open heart surgery, ancillary equipment for radiology, labs, nephrology, pulmonology and service for full spectrum of cardiovascular patients. There is also a full range of outpatient cardiac diagnostic services and rehab programs for patients recovering from heart attacks, open heart surgery, and coronary angioplasty. Although the organization is having some financial problems the patient volume is stable and increasing. As the senior financial consultant I will be working to get things financially under control, I will present a few plans for short and long term goals. I will be working with a great team that includes Gilbert Sanchez, Saiku Takeuchi, Zachary Macholz, and Dr. Brenda Lopez. The Elijah Heart Center has managed to stay focused and in operation do to the satisfied patients that need the services. There is a great team that provides great patient care but there has been a lot of poor decision making in the past that is resulting in a lot of profitable problems. In May 2x03 the financial department reported facing a potential working capital shortfall. In an emergency the hospital might not have enough cash to sustain itself...

...is not only occurring in the United States. An episode of the BBC show Holby City revolved around a heart transplant, and it was filled with inaccuracies. The mother of the donor was able to meet the family of the recipient, as well as witness the surgeons harvest her daughter’s organs after she withdrew her consent. This episode has given credence to many misconceptions. In reality, the recipient would not know the details of the donor or their family until long after the transplant was completed. The donor family always has the opportunity to stop the donation process, and they also will not be able to observe the procurement of their relative’s organs. Several people removed themselves from the donor list after the show aired because they thought that what they saw really happened (Bryant). Positive Portrayal in the Media There is some positive and accurate coverage of organ donation and transplantation in the media, but these stories are not as memorable as those that involve malpractice or some sort of scandal. The movies that present correct information, however, have been rewarded. For example, the 2008 movie Seven Pounds presented an accurate and mostly positive portrayal of the pain those on the waiting list feel, as well as the overcoming joy of being given a second chance at life (“Donate Life Honors”). The movie deals with multi-organ donation, including the heart, eyes, and bone marrow. The movie introduces the feelings of survivor’s guilt many experience, as well...

...Heart rate is controlled by the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system, as well as through several corresponding hormonal pathways. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible in the “rest and digest” responses of the body, including the role of slowing down the heart rate and reducing the strength and output of each cardiac cycles, which causes the lowering of blood pressure. Neurons located in the spinal cord and medulla of the brain stem project closely towards their target organ to form a synapse, in which the neurohormone, acetylcholine, is secreted from the vagus nerve to the heart. Acetylcholine is an inhibitory neurohormone that causes a hyperpolarization of the effector cell membranes, resulting...

...designed to save our lives. And he described it as “an emergency reaction that prepares an animal for running or fighting” (Tennant, 2005). Under stress circumstances your heart pounds faster, blood pressure rises, breath quickens ,your senses becomes sharper. These reactions increases your stamina, speeds your reaction, and enhance your focus preparing you to either fight or flee (Tennant, john hopkins university schools of education, 2005) .it is optimistic when a person feels stimulated and able to manage the situation, handle emergencies meet challenges and excel. (Tennant, 2005) But there is no doubt that the negative effects dominates over the positives. . Stress is often related to deleterious physiological complications, It corrupts almost every system in the human body (Melinda Smith, 2012).A recent study has shown that 80% of the most commonly prescripted medicines in the U.S. are those of relates to stress illnesses (institute, 2009) .Everyone experience stress, and stress in all of its kinds may affect people mainly by causing diseases in the cardiovascular system, increasing the probability of looking old in early age, and harming the reproductive system. Who said emotional sickness cannot be visual? When stress is threatening your life you begin to visualize its signs and tracks. That is when heart diseases start coming to light. All though the effect is...

...Alicia McCall Individual Project 5 12/22/2014 High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension. The right side of the heart has a harder time pumping blood to the lungs when this happens. Cor pulmonale is failure of the right side of the heart. ... Any chronic lung condition that causes prolonged low blood oxygen levels can lead to cor pulmonale. Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of your heart. Pulmonary hypertension begins when tiny arteries in your lungs, called pulmonary arteries, and capillaries become narrowed, blocked or destroyed. Then the blood passes into the right ventricle, which pumps the blood to the lungs. ... The oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart through the left atrium and then ... From the left side of the heart, blood is pumped through the main artery of the ... are a class of drugs that block certain hormones that can put stress on your heart. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body's tissues. It can have a number of causes. Heart failure can develop slowly over time as the result of other conditions (such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease) that weaken the heart. It can also occur suddenly as the result of damage to the heart muscle or an acute valve problem. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet the needs of the...

...Group project – Essay Supporting the article: According to the popular science theory of cholesterol, foods that are rich in animal fat and cholesterol can cause the artery walls to thicken, thus impairing blood flow. This condition is called atherosclerosis. But the question is, is it the high cholesterol that causes the artery walls to thicken, thus creating the potential for a heart attack? LDL is a lipoprotein that enables transport of lipids through the bloodstream. LDL has been regarded as a predictor of heart disease. LDL is regarded as the kind of cholesterol that is deposited into the artery and causing the formation of a thick substance that blocks the bloodstream. It is a popular theory, that the cholesterol we get from eating food, is affecting the cholesterol in the blood, so that the arteries are blocked. However, studies have shown that your LDL level is not necessarily the cause of heart disease, but merely a symptom. The article points to Christopher Gardner, a researcher at the Stanford University School of Medicine, who says that high LDL, is an "overblown risk factor" for heart disease. The article goes on to say that science has been unable to find a link between consuming saturated fat and heart disease. The article suggests that an increasing number of studies have started to raise doubts about the presumption that elevated levels of cholesterol leads to heart disease. This is accurate, even if these studies aren’t pointed out in the article, they...

...Senior Project 88% of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) cases occur in the victim's home. Roughly 70% of Americans do not know how to administer Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), or have not kept up on the required training. 326,000 people in the United States are hospitalized due to SCA. In order to gain a better understanding of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation one must know where it originated. The ten year period from 1950-1960 was a decade of improvement for resuscitation measures. Peter Safar, James Elam, and The United States Military were all contributors to the development of all forms of resuscitative revival. Elam and Safar were the first people to discover mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Soon after CPR was developed. Over the last few...

...For my third nine weeks project, I chose to do my research on a condition of the circulatory system called Atherosclerosis. The circulatory system is arguably the most important system in the body because it includes the heart and blood, which most people view as the symbol of life itself. If your heart beats, you are alive. I am most interested in the circulatory system, because it’s fascinating and also very relatable for me as my mom and dad both struggle with different circulatory issues. For me it’s interesting because I am able to learn and understand their conditions better due to informative teaching. Before I explain the disease, I should first explain how and what the circulatory system does in the human body when healthy. The circulatory system,...
